Cisco Cisco TelePresence Management Suite (TMS) Version 15
Room Size and Quality
As with other meeting rooms, Collaboration Meeting Rooms can vary in capacity and available resources.
As an administrator, you will be able to determine:
■
the maximum number of participants available for the rooms
■
the video quality users can expect for their rooms
■
how long meetings in rooms may last
Users can view these properties when they access their Collaboration Meeting Room portal page. Room owners decide
on the video layout, and they can modify the name of the room, which appears as a banner that welcomes participants
when they call in to the room.

PIN Protection
Access to rooms can be restricted by the use of PIN codes. The administrator determines whether a PIN is required for
host and/or guests, and the minimum number of digits.

Note that changing the PIN requirements for CMRs after initial setup is likely to cause confusion for users. We strongly
recommend that you notify users when making changes of this nature.

How Collaboration Meeting Rooms Are Created
Creating Collaboration Meeting Rooms requires a deployment of TelePresence Conductor with Unified CM or Cisco
VCS, configured with one or more bridge pools and Service Preferences.

In Cisco TMSPE, the administrator:
■
Sets up a user base with one or more groups of users in that will be allowed to create their own Collaboration
Meeting Room.

Creates one or more CMR templates linked to Service Preferences on TelePresence Conductor. A group's CMR
template determines the address pattern and available parameters for each user's CMR.

Applies required template to groups. You can only apply one template per group.
When notified by the administrator that the CMR service is available, each user can initiate the creation of their own
CMR on their TelePresence User Portal page. Depending on the CMR template, this creates an alphanumeric and/or a
numeric video address for each user's CMR on TelePresence Conductor.

The CMR is now permanently available and can be accessed at any time.
Differences from TelePresence Conductor-created Conferences
A CMR is a conference on TelePresence Conductor that has been created by Cisco TMSPE.
A CMR template in Cisco TMSPE corresponds to a conference template
and a conference alias on TelePresence
Conductor.
Beware that:
■
Collaboration Meeting Room created using Cisco TMSPE cannot be modified in TelePresence Conductor.
■
Conferences templates and aliases created in TelePresence Conductor cannot be modified in Cisco TMSPE.
■
The "lecture" conference type is not supported with Collaboration Meeting Rooms.
